With larger and fewer pieces, I tackled the kaleidoscope block from Kaleidoscope Plus first. I did add one element of complexity when piecing the block. Since I was using a directional background fabric, Beaded Curtain from Fandangle by Christa Watson, I wanted to keep the beads all vertical.

You will find January's instructions for the paper pieced areas in this post and all the details about the quilt-a-long on the Modern Plus Sampler page. You can take a look at Cheryl's perfect paper pieced areas here.
Would you be interested in a tutorial on how I cut the directional fabric pieces for paper piecing? Let me know in the comments.
Join us back on Thursday, February 7th, when we will share the final assembly instructions for the Modern Plus Sampler. How exciting!
That blocks look perfect. Keeping all of the beads vertical must have been difficult for sure. All of the patterns in Modern + Sign Quilts are pretty. I actually have three quilt tops from the book awaiting quilting.

ReplyDeleteWell done Paige! You've done a spectacular job! So... are you a convert now?
ReplyDeleteYou did great. I would love a tutorial about how you kept the directionality in the prints!
ReplyDeleteTutorial welcome! ;-) Your blocks look perfect!
